Liz reviewed: Copper Foil Stained Glass Workshop in The Cotswolds - Gloucestershire/Wiltshire/Oxfordshire Border

"Lovely course with lovely people. I enjoyed making stained glass with clear helpful instructions from Sharon and Graham yesterday. The others students were lovely and we helped each other make some very nice peices which we proudly took home to show our families. It was relaxing to do something completely different from my hectic normal day to day working life. I will book again and thoroughly recommend it. Dont think it, Just do it. Thats what I did and I'm pleased I did."

Lechlade Craft Barn responded:

"Hi Liz I'm so pleased you enjoyed the day. Sharon's range of stained glass and pyrography workshops are always so popular. We look forward to seeing you again. Karen"

"Karen and Emma were lovely. We enjoyed hot drinks and biscuits. The barn was a beautiful place to work and filled with crafts made from previous workshops. I came out with 2 necklaces and 2 pairs of earrings. All the accessories were provided (chains and earring backs). We were then given beautiful eco friendly gift boxes and a bag. They all looked very professional. Excellent value for money. Thank you, I will be back to attend more workshops in the future x"

"The copper foil stained glass course was excellent. I had never worked with glass before, but the tutor Sharon explained everything clearly and was always available to help which gives you confidence. The course was extremely well organised, there was lots of choice of materials and everyone was able to finish pieces. I enjoyed the day, and took home two finished items."

Ian Clemm reviewed: Silver Clay Jewellery Workshop in The Cotswolds - Gloucestershire/Wiltshire/Oxfordshire

"I had a very enjoyable day learning all about silver clay and made some lovely pendants to take away. They must be good as I’ve got my wife and daughter fighting over them. The tutor was great, the setup and personal touch of a goodie bag was a very nice touch. I can thoroughly recommend this if you have never done this before, or even if you have. As the only male on the day I was made to feel welcome and part of the group. "

Kelly has a wonderfully relaxed yet no-nonsense teaching style that the entire group was able to work with extremely well. We never felt rushed and could ask all the questions we needed. Course included great information on general and practical aspects of both technique and supplies. Would highly recommend the course and the venue to anyone."

Ali reviewed: Copper Foil Stained Glass Workshop in The Cotswolds - Gloucestershire/Wiltshire/Oxfordshire Border

"This was a Christmas gift from me to my mum and we attended together. What a lovely day! Comfortable surroundings, kind and patient tutors and a relaxed atmosphere. At a time where more people are seeking experiences rather than ‘things’ to give loved ones as gifts, this course and others like it are just brilliant for ensuring we put the time aside to spend with each other. A joy to spend a day mindfully engaging with gaining a new skill. Many thanks indeed!"
